Aditi Mali is an artist, illustrator and creator of all things awesome.
Over the years she's made many comic strips and illustrations and in doing so - she has helped SO many people understand that they're not alone in whatever they're going through. Aditi makes short, relatable comics on Instagram talking about everything from her cat Mau to mental health and everyday funnies. In the past Aditi has worked with brands like Sofar Sounds and Samsung. She has also made some v v cool artworks for album covers for musicians.
The interview you're going to hear was recorded in February 2020; I was gonna make a documentary on Aditi and her art but then the pandemic happened :( and we couldn't really shoot the other parts. So, now this is a podcast episode.

In this episode I talk to Piyush Bhisekar about how he got started with music, his experience in Kota, how to be a better artist and songwriter among many other things. If you're someone who wants to get started with music and songwriting - I think you'd really like this episode.
(this episode is in Hindi/English)
Piyush has been featured in Rolling Stone India, he's been nominated for an independent music award, he has also sold out multiple multi city tours across India, his debut album Hai Bharosa has over 3 million streams on Spotify and he's genuinely one of the kindest nicest people I know.
The conversation you're about to hear was recorded back in July of 2019 as part of an ongoing docu-series with Piyush.
